The goal of the endodontic treatment is to disinfect the entire root canal system. This requires the removal of infected pulp. This is achieved by the combination of mechanical instrumentation along with chemical irrigation. Chemical irrigation is necessary as it may reach the areas where the mechanical instrumentation cannot reach. Many such irrigants are available … Continue reading Sodium Hypochlorite: A Literature Review →

A detailed exploration of the interior of the tooth is essential during endodontic treatment for proper, chemico-mechanical disinfection of the root canal system. Missing an infected canal defeats the purpose of the treatment often leading to reinfection and retreatment. All efforts should be focused on detection of the canal systems correctly and location of these … Continue reading “Unravelling The Treasure Hunt – Canal Location Techniques And Aides” →
